Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As Gwendolyn stared at the line the reflection of her small face in the mirror grew suddenly all white as if some rude hand had reached out and brushed away the pink from cheeks and lips.Eleanor Gates was an American playwright who created seven plays that were staged on Broadway. Her best known work was the play The Poor Little Rich Girl, which was produced by her husband in 1913 and went on to be made as films for Mary Pickford in 1917 and for Shirley Temple in 1936.Excerpt from The Poor Little Rich GirlWhatever otherwise the pretty virtues of our Amer ican drama, the quality of fanciful imagination is of the catalogue no (or at best, small) part. We have seen amongst us farce writers of light and facile finger; we have seen drama framers of intermittently rugged, if consistently yoke], philosophic vision.Yet, the writer of exploring phantasies, the writer of caprices that violate the neutrality of the sacrosanct Broadway commonplace, is but dimly silhouetted against the borning native sun.

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The Princess and the Goblin is one of the first books in the modern fantasy genre. This book had tremendous and very visible influence on all the (now much more famous) authors that came after it. It is of course very dated. It does not match the standards that fantasy have created since; in neither scope, story, characterisation or complexity. On the other hand, it is a rather enjoyable little fairytale, and it does have its positive sides. Mostly, though, this book is not really one you read for fun. Except maybe if you're eight years old and have never read a fantasy book. If that is not the case, this book is more an object for study than a source of entertainment. It's a satisfying read because it gives an impression of what fantasy was like in the 1800s, but that unfortunately also means that it gives an impression of what fantasy was like before it got really good.

The Exercises in translation will, it is believed, furnish all the drill necessary to enable the student to retain the forms and constructions given in the various chapters. The Selections for Reading relate to the history and literature of King Alfred's day, and are sufficient to give the student a first-hand, though brief, acquaintance with the native style and idiom of Early West Saxon prose in its golden age. Most of the words and constructions contained in them will be already familiar to the student through their intentional employment in the Exercises. Advance sheets of the second part of this great work lead one to believe that when completed the three parts will constitute the most important contribution to the study of English syntax that has yet been made. Old English sentences have also been cited from Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Reader, Bright's Anglo-Saxon Reader, and Cook's First Book in Old English. The short chapter on the Order of Words has been condensed from my Order of Words in Anglo-Saxon Prose (Publications of the Modern Language Association of America, New Series, Vol. I, No. 2). Though assuming sole responsibility for everything contained in this book, I take pleasure in acknowledging the kind and efficient assistance that has been so generously given me in its preparation.

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The Lectures embraced in this volume, were written for the pulpit, in the usual manner of preparation for such labor, without any expectation of their appearing in print. The author is but too sensible that they are imperfect in many features, both in matter and style. It is only in the hope that they will be of some benefit to the class to whom they are addressed, that he has consented to submit them to public perusal. He has aimed at nothing eccentric, odd, or far-fetched; but has sought to utter plain and obvious truths, in a plain and simple manner. There is no class more interesting, and none which has higher claims on the wisdom, experience, and advice, of mature minds, than the young who are about to enter upon the trying duties and responsibilities of active life. Whatever tends to instruct and enlighten them: to point out the temptations which will beset their pathway, and the dire evils which inevitably flow from a life of immorality; whatever will influence them to honesty, industry, sobriety, and religion, and lead them to the practice of these virtues, as "Golden Steps" by which they may ascend to Respectability, Usefulness, and Happiness, must be of benefit to the world. To aid in such a work, is the design of this volume. If it subserves this end-if it becomes instrumental in inciting the youthful to high and pure principles of action, in hedging up the way of sin, and opening the path of wisdom, to any-if it drops but a single good seed into the heart of each of its readers, and awakens the slightest aspiration to morality, usefulness, and religion-it will not have been prepared in vain. With a prayer to God that he would protect and bless the youth of our common country, and prepare them to preserve and perpetuate the priceless legacy of Freedom and Religion, which they will inherit from their fathers, this book is given to the world, to fulfil such a mission as Divine Wisdom shall direct.

Flora Annie Steel was a writer who lived in British India for 22 years. She was noted especially for books set in the Indian sub-continent or connected with it. Flora was interested in relating to all classes of Indian society. The birth of her daughter gave her a chance to interact with local women and learn their language. She encouraged the production of local handicrafts and collected folk-tales, a collection of which she published in 1894. In 1889 the family moved back to Britain, and she continued her writing there. Some of her best work, according to the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, is contained in two collections of her short stories, From the Five Rivers and Tales of the Punjab. She also wrote a popular history of India. John F. Riddick describes Steel's The Hosts of the Lord as one of the "three significant works" produced by Anglo-Indian writers on Indian missionaries, along with The Old Missionary (1895) by William Wilson Hunter and Idolatry (1909) by Alice Perrin.

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was a German philosopher who is best known for his work in metaphysics and ethics. He was a prominent figure in the German philosophical tradition and had a significant influence on later philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche. Here are some key aspects of Schopenhauer's philosophy: Metaphysics of the Will: One of Schopenhauer's central ideas is the concept of the "will." He argued that an underlying, blind, and irrational force, which he identified as the will to live, is the fundamental aspect of reality. This will is the driving force behind all phenomena in the world. Pessimism: Schopenhauer is often associated with a pessimistic view of existence. He believed that the will to live leads to suffering and that human desires and cravings are insatiable, causing perpetual dissatisfaction. He famously described life as a constant striving and the attainment of desires as temporary relief from suffering. The World as Representation: Schopenhauer distinguished between the "world as will" and the "world as representation." The world as representation is the world as it appears to us through our senses and conceptual understanding. He argued that our perceptions and experiences are shaped by the will and that the world we see is a product of this will. Aesthetic Experience: Schopenhauer had a deep appreciation for the arts, particularly music and visual arts. He believed that artistic experiences provide a temporary escape from the relentless striving of the will and offer a glimpse into a transcendent realm. Influence on Nietzsche: Schopenhauer's ideas, especially his emphasis on the will and his critique of traditional values, had a profound impact on Friedrich Nietzsche. While Nietzsche initially admired Schopenhauer, he later developed his own distinct philosophical stance, often critiquing aspects of Schopenhauer's pessimism. Ethics: Schopenhauer's ethical views were influenced by Eastern philosophies, particularly Hindu and Buddhist thought. He advocated for a form of compassion and self-denial as a means to alleviate suffering. Controversial Legacy: Schopenhauer's philosophy was not widely appreciated during his lifetime, but he gained posthumous recognition. While some appreciate his unique perspective and contributions to metaphysics, others criticize aspects of his pessimism and his sometimes cynical view of human nature. Schopenhauer's works, including "The World as Will and Representation," "On the Basis of Morality," and "Essays and Aphorisms," continue to be studied and discussed in contemporary philosophy. His ideas on the will, suffering, and the nature of reality remain subjects of interest and debate.

The book was first published in 1888 and is a compilation of traditional stories that Leamy collected from Irish oral tradition. Edmund Leamy (1848-1904) was dedicated to preserving and promoting Irish folklore and culture during a period when there was a growing interest in national identity and heritage. Key features of "The Golden Spears" may include: Irish Folklore: The book consists of a selection of Irish folktales, myths, and legends that have been passed down through generations. These stories reflect the rich oral tradition of Ireland and provide insights into the cultural heritage of the Irish people. Magical Elements: Like many traditional folktales, the stories in "The Golden Spears" likely include magical and fantastical elements such as fairies, supernatural beings, and enchanted landscapes. Cultural Insights: Leamy may provide commentary or context to help readers understand the cultural and historical background of the stories. This can include explanations of customs, beliefs, and traditions that are woven into the narratives. Storytelling Style: The book is likely written in a storytelling style that captures the oral nature of the original tales. Leamy may have adapted the language to make the stories engaging for readers while preserving the essence of the traditional narratives. Nationalistic Themes: Given the historical context of Ireland in the late 19th century, during a period of cultural revival and nationalism, "The Golden Spears" may carry themes that celebrate Irish identity and folklore as a means of preserving the nation's distinct cultural heritage. "The Golden Spears" is a testament to the efforts of folklorists like Edmund Leamy to collect and document traditional stories, ensuring that they are not lost to time. Readers interested in Irish folklore, mythology, and cultural history will likely find this collection to be a valuable and enchanting exploration of Ireland's storytelling tradition.

He says that they were then (about A.D. 1150) as different as if they had been different races; and so in fact they were-different in their origin, in their language, and their diet. In his "Folk-lore Relics of Early Village Life," 1883, Mr. Gomme devotes a chapter to "Early Domestic Customs," and quotes Henry's "History of Great Britain" for a highly curious clue to the primitive mode of dressing food, and partaking of it, among the Britons. Among the Anglo-Saxons the choice of poultry and game was fairly wide. Alexander Neckani, in his "Treatise on Utensils (twelfth century)" gives fowls, cocks, peacocks, the cock of the wood (the woodcock, not the capercailzie), thrushes, pheasants, and several more; and pigeons were only too plentiful. The hare and the rabbit were well enough known, and with the leveret form part of an enumeration of wild animals (animalium ferarum) in a pictorial vocabulary of the fifteenth century.

The book was first published in 1852 and has since become a beloved and enduring classic in children's literature. In "A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys," Hawthorne adapts a selection of Greek myths and legends to make them more accessible and entertaining for a young audience. The stories are framed as a series of tales told by Hawthorne to a group of children who gather around him. The author's intention is to transport his young listeners into a magical world of mythology and wonder. The book contains several retellings of well-known Greek myths, including: "The Gorgon's Head": This story is a retelling of the Perseus and Medusa myth, focusing on Perseus's heroic quest to defeat the Gorgon and rescue Andromeda. "The Golden Touch": This story features King Midas, who learns a valuable lesson when he is granted the power to turn everything he touches into gold. "The Paradise of Children": In this tale, three children venture into the garden of the Hesperides and meet various mythological characters, including the dragon Ladon. "The Three Golden Apples": This narrative explores the myth of Hercules as he embarks on a quest to retrieve the golden apples of the Hesperides. "The Miraculous Pitcher": This story revolves around the adventures of a young boy named Epimetheus, who is gifted with a miraculous pitcher that provides an endless supply of food and drink. Hawthorne's prose is both engaging and richly descriptive, making the stories come alive for readers of all ages. He weaves moral lessons and themes into these mythological tales, making them not only entertaining but also instructive. The book's title suggests its target audience, but its imaginative and well-crafted storytelling has made it a timeless classic, appealing to readers of all generations who appreciate the enduring magic and wisdom of Greek mythology.

Zustand: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The exercises in composition found in the numbered Lessons of this book are generally confined to the illustration and the practical application of the principles of the science as these principles are developed step by step. To break up the continuity of the text by thrusting unrelated composition work between lessons closely related and mutually dependent is exceedingly unwise. The Composition Exercises suggested in this revision of "Graded Lessons" are designed to review the regular Lessons and to prepare in a broad, informal way for text work that follows. But since these Exercises go much farther, and teach the pupil how to construct paragraphs and how to observe and imitate what is good in different authors, they are placed in a supplement, and not between consecutive Lessons of the text. To let such general composition work take the place of the regular grammar lesson, say once a week, will be profitable. We suggest that the sentence work on the selections in the Supplement be made to follow Lessons 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 77; but each teacher must determine for himself when these and the other outlined lessons can best be used. We advise that other selections from literature be made and these exercises continued with the treatment of the parts of speech. For composition work to precede Lesson 30 we suggest that the teacher break up a short story of one or two paragraphs into simple sentences, making some of these transposed, some interrogative, and some exclamatory.

He made friend with Annie Besant (a great British socialist, theosophist, women's rights activist and writer). He remained a highly influential figure over Western esotericism. This book contains four chapters :The Soul and the bodies.Reincarnation and the moral law.Reincarnation and science.Reincarnation and the religious and philosophical consensus of the ages. This is a valuable book to anyone interested in Theosophical teachings, like the reincarnations of the Soul. Excerpt: "In a book dealing with the resurrection of bodies and the reincarnations of the Soul, a chapter must be devoted to the fundamental elements of the question.We will give the name of Soul to abstract Being, to the Unknown, that unmanifested Principle which cannot be defined, for it is above all definition. It is the Absolute of Western philosophers, the Parabrahm of the Hindus, the Tao of the ancient sages of China, the causeless Cause of all that has been or ever will be manifested in concrete time and space.Some feeble idea of it may perhaps be obtained by comparing it with electricity, which, though the cause of various phenomena: heat, movement, chemical action, light, is not, per se, any one of these phenomena, undergoes no modification from their existence, and survives them when the apparatus through which they manifest disappears. We shall set up no distinction between this Soul, which may be called the universal Soul, and the individual soul, which has often been defined as a ray, a particle of the total Soul, for logically one cannot imply parts to the Absolute; it is illusion, limitation on our part, which shows us souls in the Soul.".

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Benjamin Anderson, American Austrian, was among a handful of economists, led by Ludwig von Mises in his pioneering work The Theory of Money and Credit in 1912, who set out to integrate monetary theory into a general theory of value. Anderson devoted a major portion of his great book The Value of Money, published in 1917, to a refutation of the "mechanical" quantity theory of money. He argued that the causes and effects from which the data of the quantity equation are constructed are disaggregated and complex; whatever the correlation between the aggregate variables of the quantity equation, correlation is not causation; causation cannot be established in the equation because there are no quantitative constants in human action (in particular, velocity is not constant); the quantity theory ignores time; there is no unambiguous way to define the variables in the theory: the money stock, velocity, the quantity of goods, and the price level. Anderson further holds that whatever true propositions the quantity theory offers can as well be deduced from a correct theory of value and that many true theories of modern economics (such as the laws of demand and supply, the theory of capitalization, and Gresham's law) are inconsistent with it. Although some true propositions can be had from the quantity theory, not every conclusion derived from it is true. Anderson expended much effort to demonstrate that many theories constructed upon it are false. For example, he argued that the independence between the stock of money and the quantity of goods, assumed for the purpose of reaching the conclusion that increases in the stock of money lead to proportional increases in the price level, if carried into macroeconomics has pernicious effects.

On the surface a witty, bantering tale, this eighteenth-century classic is actually a savage, satiric thrust at the philosophical optimism that proclaims that all disaster and human suffering is part of a benevolent cosmic plan. Fast, funny, often outrageous, the French philosopher's immortal narrative takes Candide around the world to discover that -- contrary to the teachings of his distinguished tutor Dr. Pangloss -- all is not always for the best. Alive with wit, brilliance, and graceful storytelling, Candide has become Voltaire's most celebrated work.

Zustand: Hervorragend.

The Analysis of the Sexual Impulse is fundamental. Unless we comprehend the exact process which is being worked out beneath the shifting and multifold phenomena presented to us we can never hope to grasp in their true relations any of the normal or abnormal manifestations of this instinct. I do not claim that the conception of the process here stated is novel or original. Indeed, even since I began to work it out some years ago, various investigators in these fields, especially in Germany, have deprived it of any novelty it might otherwise have possessed, while at the same time aiding me in reaching a more precise statement. This is to me a cause of satisfaction. On so fundamental a matter I should have been sorry to find myself tending to a peculiar and individual standpoint. It is a source of gratification to me that the positions I have reached are those toward which current intelligent and scientific opinions are tending. Any originality in my study of this problem can only lie in the bringing together of elements from somewhat diverse fields. I shall be content if it is found that I have attained a fairly balanced, general, and judicial statement of these main factors in the sexual instinct. In the study of Love and Pain I have discussed the sources of those aberrations which are commonly called, not altogether happily, "sadism" and "masochism." Here we are brought before the most extreme and perhaps the most widely known group of sexual perversions. I have considered them from the medico-legal standpoint, because that has already been done by other writers whose works are accessible. I have preferred to show how these aberrations may be explained; how they may be linked on to normal and fundamental aspects of the sexual impulse; and, indeed, in their elementary forms, may themselves be regarded as normal. In some degree they are present, in every case, at some point of sexual development; their threads are subtly woven in and out of the whole psychological process of sex. I have made no attempt to reduce their complexity to a simplicity that would be fallacious. I hope that my attempt to unravel these long and tangled threads will be found to make them fairly clear. In the third study, on The Sexual Impulse in Women, we approach a practical question of applied sexual psychology, and a question of the first importance. No doubt the sex impulse in men is of great moment from the social point of view. It is, however, fairly obvious and well understood. The impulse in women is not only of at least equal moment, but it is far more obscure. The natural difficulties of the subject have been increased by the assumption of most writers who have touched it-casually and hurriedly, for the most part-that the only differences to be sought in the sexual impulse in man and in woman are quantitative differences. I have pointed out that we may more profitably seek for qualitative differences, and have endeavored to indicate such of these differences as seem to be of significance.
